Ronnie romps with Ryan

Frustrated by the situation with Ronnie, Jack confronts Roxy about her lie that she met a new guy while she was away. Roxy feigns ignorance, while Jack blasts her interference, before claiming that he's only keeping contact with her because of Amy. Later, on hearing about Ronnie's condom sabotage, Archie realises that Ronnie needs help. Meanwhile, Ronnie's in a positive mood and informs Peggy that she's fed up of playing the victim. Ryan walks into The Vic asking for a job where there's an immediate energy between him and Ronnie. Peggy agrees to give Ryan a day's trial and as the newcomer flirts with Ronnie, Archie walks in. He tries to talk with his daughter and offer his help, but she's evasive.

Later, Janine's furious after Ryan's dismissing her advances in favour of Ronnie. Realising that Janine's wound up by their flirting, Ronnie takes Ryan to the cellar and seductively asks if he knows how to change a barrel. In the cellar, they passionately kiss. They end up in Ryan's bed at Janine's flat soon after. As Ronnie gets dressed, Janine snoops in the eldest Mitchell sister's bag and finds some medication.
